British hero of the mall massacre: Ex Royal Marine with a handgun saved 100 lives as

A very brave thing to do with just a handgun.

A former marine emerged as a hero of the Nairobi siege yesterday after he was credited with saving up to 100 lives.
The ex soldier was having coffee at the Westgate mall when it was attacked by Islamists on Saturday.
With a gun tucked into his waistband, he was pictured helping two women from the complex.

Naw, no way. Must be a misprint.

Hey, Obama says we can arm the terrorists but American citizens can't be trusted with guns. Hey Crue, did you see the guy that put pro second amendment signs in his yard and they kept getting stolen so he put up a hidden game camera and it turned out to be a uniformed cop?!?

Not to be a stickler for facts or anything but Obama never said that, also the fact that he was armed didn't really contribute to what he accomplished. He's a great man and a hero for it, but lets leave out the hyperbole OK?

The article mentions the hand gun. And I bet, while probably a brave and helpful fellow, did more than usual because he had a weapon and was trained with it.
Its just luck that he didnt have to use it.
But the agenda drum beat is "more guns" is a terrible thing. Yet more guns in the right hands seem to help out.
